Messages of Hope: Index Card Art for Haiti


What started as a request to the parents of my daughter's kindergarten class has turned into Messages of Hope: Index Card Art for Haiti. The idea was to have our children create a dozen or so mini works of art on index cards that would then be distributed to the children of Haiti by a doctor volunteering in the relief effort. It is a small way of letting the children of Haiti know that there is light and life in the midst of such darkness and death. What started as a petition to the parents and teacher of my daughter's class via our class Google group, through a forwarded email, galvanized the entire elementary school to follow suit. The administration, teachers and students were so willing to take part in this effort and the response has been incredible. Thank you Neighborhood School for your labor of love and for your kind acts of compassion through Messages of Hope. 

The index cards were the desired medium as to not overburden Dr. Pierre Arty, the doctor that has so willingly agreed to lovingly distribute the cards to any and every child that he administers aid to. Thank you Dr. Pierre not only for delivering our Messages of Hope but for your commitment and willingness to the relief efforts in Haiti. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
